Also, these are the types of thoroughly mundane check-ins that I fully expected on the Starship Casual. Carry on, Captain!

I’m sure we could arrange a Jesus Etc in falsetto for you Jeff, maybe the next Solid Sound? And just like that the audience is taking requests 😉

Jeff, are implying by that audience voice pitch comparison that your fans are a bit…older? Just watch out the next time you perform Hotel Arizona! We’ll do our best to be the not-so-young girls screaming all the way in the back!

I'm glad to have the Wilco University sweatshirt from Lisa; I gave her the Wilco University sweatpants for Christmas! You'll get that degree some day, Jeff!

I have a M.Ed lying around that I won't be using in a couple of years. My thesis was 168 pages long, but I know that's nothing compared to your oeuvre. I'll trade you.

I’ll scratch out my name and give you my BS in Music Ed from SIUC. Or my Engineering one if you want to go the full on nerd route.

Why do musicians think they can just get given a degree, and not study?

You don’t know what it is like to study and learn and you want to use your fame when students work hard to write essays that mean something to fellow academics and wider industries. People write essays about music, and genre, craft and music journalism, and other things in the belief that they are helping music history and you are just laughing at them saying ‘I’m famous, just give me one—I am a musician’.
